Sizing a Scalloped Rug
A scalloped rug like Quatra behaves differently from a rectangle, because its edge is made of curves rather than corners. Those four lobes round outward and pull in at the waists, so the footprint reads softer and more contained, settling naturally under a low table or at the foot of a bed where the curved border can be seen. When you size one, measure to the widest point of the lobes rather than to a straight edge, and leave a little floor around the scallops so the silhouette stays legible and the curves do not crowd the furniture.
Hand-tufting is what lets the shape stay this clean. Working from the back of a stretched canvas, artisans in Bhadohi set New Zealand wool through the foundation by hand, then shear the surface even so the field and its darker ring hold a crisp, rounded line all the way around. That control over the outline is difficult in a flat weave, which is why the technique suits a form built on curves. Every Jubi rug is made to order, so Quatra can be woven in the size and palette your room calls for.
